U mean extra and thicker ground wiring?

[Mondeo]

I think so.

Mcwell quoted me S$248.00 p/set + $30 install . for the 'ground wire' set--brand name:C-west

[Turbobrick]

Wah lau, go electrical shop and ask for super thick nickel wire and ground yourself lah. Less than $10

[Mondeo]

I pay U S$20

[Mondeo]

Pardon me, heard of ground wires before but what exactly do they help? And what does the system consist of?

 

Cos like what someone said, can buy the good wires and connectors and DIY.

Wah, very technical lah..Mainly improve (may be said restore) yr babe electric power.

lightings are brighter. sparking are more stable.

Fast & great result if apply on old car.

I'm not professional lah, can not DIY man. It's quite danger if connected the wrong place.

Yup, read on the Nissan forum that it helps performance in a way...

 

But huh, yours is new car and most new cars would have good ground systems liao right?

 

I would think it's really good for those into ICE stuff, no?

[Mondeo]

Good grounding system is not high priority of car makers... I think. At least can't find in my mondy or even the Lexus RS200.

[MkIIToledo]

Really!! Yah lah hor, every car saw a few tens of $$$ adds up a lot liao!

 

So, getting it? Let us know the result.

Definately report it. I've read so many reports as well as oversea (Asia & Ang moh) car club owners, also get the positive answer, but only thing is not cheap at all.

One Hongkee car (Civic) had been burnt due to the wire connections in wrong ways

Hey, can give the links to those reports? TIA

The trick is to add more grounding points of beef up your stock grounding. It's definitely grounding of battery -ve, engine block, etc. to the chassis.

No need lah....hahahaha

Just installed it in the afternoon at Autobac. Electric power really better, headlight brighter, one thing did not expect, but it came---slightly increase the power, I can feel and see the meter frm 1500rpm to 3000rpm is easier to reach then B4.

 

The staff-Desmond (I think) installed abt 2hrs jobs, and he tested and tested again the other wirings-apperiate that! And my mondy, the design layout of under bonnet is different with other car as well, this' increase the hard time to him.

 

Conclusion:I'm very satify it. And strongly recommend to anyone

 

The Meet-up can see the installation in my mondy.
